Laparoscopic Surgery for Cancer Patients
Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery dates back to the 1900s. In Russia in 1901, a German physician performed the first laparoscopic procedure on a human.1 Ten years later, Jacobaeus used thoracoscopy and laparoscopy to diagnose several disease states, including malignancy. In 1985, Dr. Muhe performed the first successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy (lap chole) in a human. However, this was not well publicized until years later. In 1988, first lap chole was performed in the USA and from 1991it has been accepted as a routine and standard procedure.
